Peninsula Cottage sits on the edge of the sea just a short walk from a large sandy beach and rugged countryside. Nestled into the coastline of Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, this property offers the perfect getaway for couples and families.
Greeted by the fresh sea breeze, you will find yourself outside this beautifully renovated cottage, noticing how huge windows and clean white paint bring a contemporary touch to the cottage. Park your car in the convenient off-road parking or garage, and unpack easily, utilising the storage provided in the garage for your belongings. Enter into a delightful open-plan living space, where black and white furniture contrast beautifully with the fresh wooden floors, and you are drawn to the huge sliding windows facing out to sea and promising a morning coffee in the great outdoors, a relaxing real flame fire will warm your feet after a long day as you snuggle in the leather sofas, feeling the softness of a tasteful grey rug under your feet, before a heart-warming meal is enjoyed at the dining table with a view to the setting sun, you can even use the scope provided to watch wildlife whilst the designated chef makes the most of the fully furnished kitchen, sporting stylish fittings and a more casual sitting area perfect for coffee and cake. There are two bedrooms available, the first is a king-size which is decorated with a relaxing hint of blue, reminding you how close to the sea you are, with ample storage via attractive wooden furniture and Hebridean tweed sourced locally and bringing with it a connection to the island and its heritage. The second room is a twin bedroom which sports pleasant purple furnishings as well as a quirky striped carpet, half wood and half painted feature wall and a view to the scenery outside. When in need of a shower or a soak in the bath, head over to the family bathroom, where you will find all of the necessary home comforts including underfloor heating, large oval free standing bath and walk in shower. Outside, you will be delighted to find a beautiful garden area with decking and a bench perfect for lunch in the sun, outdoor chairs to bask in the calming rays, or you can use the bikes provided to take a trek across the wonderful cycle paths of the area. Positioned in Stornoway, the largest of the settlements on the Isle of Lewis, you will be met with a variety of local beaches just a short walk away, where you can picnic, kayak or even try out wild swimming and, further from the property, you may even see seals basking in the harbour. At Stornoway, you will find the stunning Lewis Castle and grounds, boat trips across to the mainland and day trips to St Kilda where you can visit nearby islands and the abundance of wildlife that they have to offer, as well as shops, pubs and cafes to keep you fuelled for a day of adventures. From this convenient location you will also be able to travel to fascinating historical sites such as Callanish Standing Stones and visit local museums and local produce stores such as Tweed makers. A beautiful property surrounded by excellent locations and activities, you are bound to fall in love with the Outer Hebrides with a stay at Peninsula Cottage. The islands can be reached by flights from Edinburgh, Glasgow or Inverness; or by ferry from Uig on Skye to Tarbert, or Ullapool to Stornoway.
